Today was the NKF youth ambassador concert with Fan Yi Chen, Van Fan, as the star and the special guest, a new band called 六甲。It went alright, but the organisers not very happy abt the turn out. Sigh. Cuz Ms Wong promised them full house, and the whole B.O.D knows deep in our hearts, it is IMPOSSIBLE! Becoz... hey, even all 12 of us dunno who in the world he is lor.

Anyway, the turn out wasn fantastic, but the mood was pretty high and everyone quite enthu. *fingers crossed* hopefully we wont get into any trouble... if not... 完蛋了。Afterall, this is our job lor. geez. And you cant blame the students lor. Year 2s have As practical today, heard it wasn easy. Cant expect them to drag their sad selves to the audi and come after a tiring exam. The year one cohort had Chemistry Lecture or something along that line, which is quite alot of pple... then there's Beta House Function today... another group of pple gone. You get the drift, in the end got also 3/4 audi first storey full... not bad le la. Be realistic mah. Din even see any B.O.D seniors. Only got Zi Ran, my LEP senior who participated in Temasek Idol and got crowned by Rajesh or who the TJ mandrain pop princess. haha. She turned up, so happy! 谢谢你！

Quite an interesting day, but i wasn in my best condition to "enjoy" it. I wasn feeling very well, having my migraine coming back sometime after lunch. I sat with Hui Min for a while before dragging my dying self to the audi to get to work by 3:45pm sharp. It was hard at first, seeing those pple from NKF and those taking their orders. they all appeared super unreasonable and rude at first because they just told us stuff like "Your dressing room is very dusty and untidy... can you all go clean it up now?" and "The toilet backstage cannot be used, then how? You can't expect the singers to go to the outside toilet?!" and "Huh? Dirty? School Cleaners not free? you all clean la..." GEEZ. It was difficult taking it all down and running around all that. Then there wasn many pple helping out, and not enough hands, you see. I went out and luckily happen to see Andy and Fu Da and after some pleading, they came to help me carry the heavy furniture around... =) Thank you!

Later went to meet with 六甲 when they arrived, a group of guys in black tees shouting out their band name which i have never heard before today. Suprisingly they smiled at me and said hi. But still, they appeared dao. Led them to the dressing room and tot can rest a well before fan yi chen arrives. So i sat on the steps outside the back door of back stage... and zoned out. Then another suprise came when two of the 六甲 members came out of the dressing room dressed, started adjusting their ties etc etc... and suddenly came to talk to me. Haha. I forgot their names, just remembered one of them is the one the emcee said was a 少女杀手, and the other one was one of the lead singers. They just chatted and talking to them was pretty easy. At least, easier than i tot. They were really quite friendly and though din talk too much, was quite taken aback that they weren dao at all and in fact quite nice. Later wished them luck, and went to tend to other stuff...

I brought the organisers from NKF over to the school bookshop cuz they wanted to buy snacks. haha.. we talked a bit here and there and i was quite afraid of them at first cuz again, they seemed like the kinda important pple u don trifle with and dao gals. Some more they were the ones that kept giving orders just now lor. But later when they talked to me more, again, realised they were ok la. They were worried abt the turn out and i din noe how to console or encourage them. I was so scared myself. Because got walk them around the school and stuff, we got on pretty ok, so later when i asked if i could go take some photos of the band and Fan Yi Chen in the dressing room, they helped me arrange to talk to the managers of the singers. Who were nice pple FYI, one called Andrew, who was super nice abt everything and even brought me to the dressing room and introduced me to the singers. The band was quite enthu, wanting to pose for photos with their guitars and just playing around... it was quite a comfortable situation and everyone was relaxed. Fan Yi Chen looked a bit uptight, and somehow i intepreted it was dao because he is so quiet and withdrawn unlike the band, so enthu and chatting so friendly-ly.

Fan Yi Chen arrived late cuz he went to the salon to do his hair. whey. He arrived in a car with his manager i think. that motherly woman who looks super nice for some reason. I directed them to the dressing room with 六甲 and siam-ed. Took some photos here and there and they got on to their technical rehersal. The music was super loud i left the audi cuz cannot stand le. Was just pacing in backstage later on when one of my new NKF-organiser friends came and asked me to bring one of the 六甲 members, the guitarist called 阿龙 i tink (Think 儿子大玩偶) to wash him hands. And he quite poor thing lor. I told him the nearest bathroom/sink is outside audi... then we went arnd backstage looking for Andrew cuz he had to ask his manager for permission to leave backstage. I kinda felt sorry for him at that point, cuz he doesn even have the freedom to go WASH HIS HANDS? hello... dont u tink that's pretty sad? Then finally Andrew said ok and me, 阿龙 and Andrew went together to bring 阿龙 to the bathroom to wash hands. It sounds ultra ridiculous when i say it now... like 2 pple following one guy to the bathroom to wash hands? stupid lor. Then had to wait outside for him while i dunno WHY he took so long to wash his hands. aiyah. But he's a cool guy la. He's the band leader i heard. As in, he is nice like on the way to the bathroom got talk a little to him and Andrew and he IS nice.=P

BUT!!!!! That guy stepped on my shoe! Like wadeva la, we went in backstage together, then suddenly when i turn to leave, he followed me and left the audi through the same door. There were this group of fans of his prob in plain clothes, giving the OCIP pple selling light sticks a hard time trying to make them lend them their TJ uniform, because only TJ uniformed beings are allowed entry to the concert. In return, the fans promised to buy ALL the lightsticks. Cool, the OCIP group had more integrity and pride and just moved away continuing with their sale of light sticks. Anyway, now the things is, 阿龙 was trying to get to the van and not trying to be pulled or shaked hands by any fans, and i was trying to get out of the way before i can stampeded... so it ends up, he stepped on my shoe and made his escape. And me? I bent down to adjust my stepped shoe and twisted my back. GEEZ. Later still got pple tell me i should feel honoured he stepped on me. HELLO?????? 他揣了我一脚，好不好？我管他是几甲乐团团长喔。。。痛哦！…Luckily i had a good impression of him becoz of the bathroom search, so ok la. But i still limped like an idiot to the front of audi full of pple queueing up to get in la. Saw Kai Leng and complained about my leg and back... and she offered to 帮我打他。。。 hahaha... that's so Kai leng. So cute. Lurve her!

Then the cute Zheng Lu, the PRC IP programme student (Principal let the IP programme kids come in before everyone else and they had their own reserved row of good seats!) suddenly called me "学姐！" and asked wad CCA i was in, said she wanted to join, and said she wanted to help organise next year's concert. Haha... she asked how to get into the B.O.D, and i said "我们今年的学会理事会选你吧。。。再加上投票等等。。。" Her eyes immediately lighted up. "你能决定？太好了!学姐，你会选我的对吗？" Scarely she never get in next year... she'll think its all my fault. uh-oh. But hey... she and a whole group of them wants to join LEO le... =) Hee.

Concert went ok... mid-way me and Ga yeong went to the side to light a candle on the cake for Van cuz its his bdae soon. My NKF-organisers new friends asked me to go up with the cake and i got Ga Yeong with me because, i would die having to go up alone in front of so many pple... and i need help lighting the candle. *Grinz* Finally got to going up, me and Ga Yeong were positively scared. My knees were kinda shakey and my hands started to sweat. Haha... thank goodness for stage lighting, i couldn see the pple down in the seats clearly, was only concious of Fan Yi Chen beside me, Ga Yeong on the other side, and 六甲 behind me... was trying to adjust to the bright light too. Was over in a while and we got off the stage... with a heave of relief.

Concert ended in a good light, but needed to stay back to clear up. (wadz new...?) We saw this gigantic crowd at the back door of back stage, trying to catch a glimpse of Fan Yi Chen or 六甲 when they come out. Haha. The things pple do to 追星. Its pretty amusing la. =P And i saw that group of fans, now including Fan Yi Chen's still there. They just waited there for almost 3 hrs?? Cuz i know for sure they din get into the concert. WOW. Then me and Kee Liang and Arthur carried the stuff from outside audi to back stage... and as Arthur and Kee Liang were setting the table back to where it belongs, i went to the dressing rooms. I saw a light on, so i popped my head in and saw Fan Yi Chen sitting alone there, zoning out too. He saw me and smiled. I was quite suprised its him la. I seriously tot he left le. But i immediately apologized, though i dunno for wad, it just seemed right then. "对不起。我不知道你一个人在这里。" (it sounds funny when i write it now... like its a crime for me to see him sitting alone in a dressing room backstage of a JC auditorium.)
"没关系。" he continued to smile.
"对了，你怎么一个人在这里？"
"哦，要等我的经理人收拾嘛。还要等车子来接。"
"哦。。。六甲走了啊？"
"ya. 他们有事先走啦"
at this point, i din noe wad else to say, you see. And i still had that impression that this guy is super dao etc etc. So i went to call ms Wong and asked her to take a photo with Van. Apparently, she told us B.O.D members to go take photo without her. Only me, Kee Liang and Arthur were there, so arthur took individual photos for me and Kee Liang. Then we talked to Van some more and introduced ourselves and LEO club and he thanked us for getting such a high amount of donations and we thanked him for coming etc. Then Kee Liang and Arthur left, before i followed them out, i turned back and thanked him again. And wished him a happy birthday beforehand. By then, i knew the previous impression was fading, because we got to talk to him so much more and realised he wasn stuck up. or rather, not THAT stuck up. heh. He is afterall a singer. Has a bit of 架子la.

On the first level of backstage, however, it was chaos. Because Ms Wong said to Jun Ming "If you want to take photo with Van, go down lor. They all downstairs le." Apparently, she din specify clearly, because she don usually have to, you see. But as Jun Ming stepped into backstage and decided he din want to take photo and turned back, he was almost killed in the stampede of the pple who were standing outside the door not daring to come in. Now they did. Boy, did they. Me, kee Liang and Arthur got the shock of our lives when we saw the crowd backstage. WOAH. Smart Kee Liang and Arthur quickly said "None of our probs, we go first." Which, HI, like its my prob la! Jun ming felt a bit bad he tot he caused all that... and me? of cuz, as usual, 我收拾残局lor. The fiercest organiser who was the one rejecting jing Xuan's interview for Fan Yi Chen and 六甲 came out. DUH. She started shouting at the crowd to leave. Wow. she's scary. i quickly left in Kee Liang arthur direction to front stage-audi...

now... i forgot how Fan Yi Chen looks like le... hahaha... i still dunno who he is.

argh. cant take it le. i am dying from migraine at this rate i am going.... PAIN. need. to. sleep. and. rest. Guess the stress of this concert got to me la. sian diaoz... tired tired tired tired!
